On the ABC show Modern Family last season, Gloria Pritchett-the character so vividly brought to life by Sofia Vergara, became a new mother welcoming the newest addition to Pritchett family, Fulgencio Joseph Pritchett a.k.a. Joe.

It's hard to imagine that in real life Vergara is in a fact mother and to a twenty one year old no less.

Married at 18, Vergara had her son, Manolo Gonzalez-Ripoll Vergara when she was just 19 during her marriage to her childhood sweetheart and spouse of three years, Joe Gonzales.

Manolo has a very close relationship with his mother- Raising Mom, a comedy the Modern Family star has been in the talks for producing for ABC is based off of their real life relationship-the interactions with her son Manolo and her experiences as a single mother, and the two of them "raising" each other. The concept was conceived by Luis Balaguer, Sofia's longtime friend and sometime business partner.

It seems that Manolo too has some directorial, performing aspirations, but sticks to creating as well as starring in his Youtube mockumentary series Mi Vida Con Toty (My Life with Toty) ocassionally starring his Mother.

Manolo show's his Mami Love through the videos he regularly posts on his Youtube channel NuevOn. The particularly sweet one he posted was for a Mother's Day tribute; explaining the many reasons Sofia was a great-though sometimes overprotective mother to him.

He once posted a parody video of his supposedly exposing Sofia's "true accent" which is British by the way.

What's the saying, that you can tell how a man will treat you by how he treats his mother ? Well, in that case, Manolo looks like the perfect prospect. It doesn't hurt that he's good-looking as well.
